Justin was thrilled to wake up the next day and go to school. He wanted to go and play with Heather and Sean, enjoy himself a bit. He sat through class and resisted the urge to use his ring on the other kids or the teacher. Right now all he wanted to do was use it on his new friends.
When school got out, he practically burst from the room and ran outside, waiting for Heather and Sean. They both came out and grinned, "Wow you got out here early."
Justin nodded. "I was thinking we could go to the mall and visit the arcade, maybe catch a movie!" He said.
"Sure," Sean said. "What movie?"
"How about that new Thriller," Justin said.
"But thats rated Pg-13. We'll never get in." Heather said.
"Thats what they think," Justin thought. Silently he wished all three were thirteen years old. It was a slightly weird sensation feeling himself grow into puberty. He watched as Sean and heather changed, Heather showing clear signs of adolescence. The biggest change, Justin realized, was his feelings. He started to think more about her, how pretty she was.
"So shall we go see that Thriller?" Heather asked.
"Yeah lets go."
All three went to the mall and bought tickets to the movie, no problem. Once inside, Sean and Heather sat down and Justin did the same. As the lights went down, he felt Heather's hand reach over and take his. It warmed him in the cold theater.
